The principal aims of EuroUnderstanding are:

1. Supporting interdisciplinary projects addressing research questions falling under this thematic programme, leading to high quality, high impact scientific outputs.
2. Enabling the building of multidisciplinary teams bridging scientific communities both within and outwith the Humanities, leading to a lasting positive contribution to interdisciplinary theory and method.
